I believe that this is a product of PNGs containing a built-in gamma
profile; many browsers ignore it (as they ignore other colour profile
info) but Safari (and maybe some others?) adjust the colour render
accordingly, meaning that the image is displayed with a slightly
different gamma to 'non-gamma' elements (eg. GIFs and background colours
set in HTML/CSS).

A solution to this is reported to be GammaSlamma <http://tinyurl.com/
yuchvh> which strips out the gamma information. I say 'reportedly'
because although I've downloaded it and plan to give it a whirl, I have
not, as yet, had opportunity to try it out.

But just thought in case it helps anybody.
